All Chapters of The Beast's Ugly Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 77

“Here, dear. Have some tea. It will help you calm down.” Alpha Kaia had a gentle smile on her face as she extended the small cup toward me. “Take a deep breath, okay? Everything is alright now.”My hands were still trembling when I reached out and took the cup, but instead of drinking, I just stared at my reflection in the amber liquid. My eyes were still red and my face was swollen from crying, but at least the tears had stopped. Goddess, I hadn't realized how scared I'd been until the danger had passed. Even now, it felt like I could still feel their hands on me and hear their laughter…I so desperately wanted to run back to Noah and beg him to hold me until that horrible feeling passed. But I couldn't. Not when I was completely alone with Alpha Kaia in her office at that moment. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one I certainly wouldn't have again. Not now that I had experienced firsthand how real the danger Noah talked so much about was.“Alpha…” I tried to say, but an unexp

The anger and contempt in her voice made me tremble, and finally, I understood why her words were hurting me so much.The truth is, I loved Alpha Kaia's attention, even though we saw each other relatively little. I liked the false feeling that I now had a mother. Someone who was kind and cared about me.And to be treated that way, even by her, was… terribly painful. Like being rejected twice by my mother.“Goddess, how did things end up like this…” Noah’s mother sighed “No, wait, I think I know who put those ridiculous ideas in your head. It was that scoundrel Lunefar, wasn’t it?” she growled “Sometimes, I feel like tearing up that damn peace treaty with the Lunefar and kicking him completely out of my pack! Wasn’t it enough when Noah was a boy and he kept poisoning him against his brother, forcing my son to invent lies about Cassian, and now this! He’s even decided to use you in his games…”“What?” I blinked, incredulous “What did you say about Noah?”“What did you just hear! It’s not

“Okay, Noah. This time, just try to stand up. You being able to stand on your own is enough.” Elliott said, his arms outstretched, ready to catch Noah at any sign that he was about to fall.From where I was, sitting on the edge of the bed, I watched with my heart in my hands as Noah put his feet on the floor once more, beginning to try and force his legs to have enough strength to keep him standing. I had already lost count of how many times he had done that that day, but his body always ended up falling back towards the bed again.Most of his bandages were no longer needed, but the closed wounds were becoming gigantic scars, especially on his chest. The others that still needed care rarely bled now, and, as grateful as I was to the Goddess that his healing process was nearing its end, it was impossible for me not to be nervous. Because I knew that, the instant Alpha Kaia heard the news that he was about to walk again, the date for the victory feast would be set.That day, when she ca

I think I got home so fast I almost rivaled the speed of Atticus and Louis.Noah's library now seemed as empty and gloomy as it had been when I first entered it. Since my husband had given me my own library as a gift, I had hardly set foot in it. I thought I had everything in the collection Noah had created for me, full of books on medicine, healing potions, and romance novels.But now, I needed a book that was only available there. I knew it. The cover I saw in that lucid vision wasn't at all familiar to me, which meant there wasn't a copy in my library.“Holly, wait!” Louis caught up with me as I was on my way to climb the ladder, holding me in place to stop me “You could hurt yourself! I still remember the General ordering me not to let you near that ladder, in case I didn’t want to see you fall and break a leg or something.” He sighed, as if it were inevitable “Just tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll get it for you.”“It’s a book!” I explained, starting to pace back and fort
